Improving Cloud Integrated Sensor Network Architecture, Applications & Challenges

Abstract

Wireless sensor network applications are applicable in so many significant areas like human health care observations, defense monitoring, environment observations infrastructure monitoring and so on. There are lots of issues & challenges like security, scalability, storage, network lifetime etc. in wireless sensor network. To overcome the issues & challenges, Sensor Cloud (SC) become significant element of nowadays research era. Sensor cloud is the combination of two individual technologies in one form. So, as far as concerned with fabulous data collecting capabilities of wireless sensor networks and because the powerful data storage and process capabilities of cloud computing, Sensor Cloud integration is now a days attracting increase focus from both academic purpose and industry purpose. Virtualization is key concept of Sensor Cloud in which more than one application simultaneously executes on every sensor device. For monitoring and controlling a number of applications, Sensor Cloud provide us open, flexible, and adjustable platform. Here focus on important discussion regarding Sensor Cloud Architecture which will give us sensor cloud design, applications, issues & challenges. The proposed research work discusses regarding social sensor cloud in which an algorithm is designed for both parameter energy efficiency and security through virtualization. The proposed research work will help academicians as well as industry persons for design and development of sensor cloud.
